Create a Custom Shaker Ornament
Does it seem like your Christmas shopping list gets longer every year while your budget gets smaller? Don't stress because you have some quick, unique and inexpensive options this year.
Create a custom shaker ornament for the folks on your list. They are fun to make, super easy and will bedazzle everyone.
There's not a lot to this ornament yet it looks like it took a lot of effort and work; a clear acrylic ornament, shaker material, ribbon and decorative embellishments.
The shaker mix is the key to the project.
You need to make the difficult decision...what color shaker mix from Buttons Galore to use and which adorable 3D Buttons to pick for embellishments. The shaker mix will help determine the color ribbons to be used and any other embellishments you add to the ornament.
This is what I selected for my cheery and festive ornament. The options, color choices and themes are limitless.
These are the other products used:
You'll need a Plastic Fillable Christmas Ornaments. These are very cool because they are large enough to add a small trinket if preferred, plus your beautiful shaker material.
Below is an image of the fillable ornament used. Once I filled the ornament with shaker mix, I sealed closed with durable glue. Beacons 3-in-1 glue is typically what I use on every project I create because it dries clear and works well with fabric, ribbon, wood, metal, paper, clay and many other products.
There's nothing worse than having your beautiful ornament open and become confetti all over your floor.

Why the Wire?
I take an extra measure of security- by wiring the top together. I also use the wire to secure all decorations and embellishments to the ornament. The gold wire is simple to use and is pretty so I don't really worry if some of the wire shows.
The wire will get wrapped around the top of the ornament to secure your embellishments including the ribbons and even the decorative button.
Here's a close up of the top of the ornament and embellishments.
